Summary
In this episode, we sit down with Shahzrad (Shaz) Tayebi of Mama Milk Innovations, a company on a mission to transform breastfeeding technology by designing products that work with biology,not against it. Shaz discusses how biomimicry is reshaping everything from soothers to breast pumps, why traditional lactation tools have long needed disruption, and how thoughtful innovation can support both the physical and emotional experience of mothers. It’s a powerful conversation about women’s health, design, and what happens when empathy meets engineering. Shaz is a lactation consultant and former midwife with more than 30 years of experience working with moms and babies. She now has a startup focused on innovative solutions for babies and new parents, mainly a completely different breast pump.
